Football: The strongest center in history

Chapter 422: The new season has finally begun

Manchester United have made few transfers this season.

Apart from the exchange of Rooney and Mata and Fellaini, there is no one else.

Edwoodward’s team were very immature in this transfer window operation.

Although he successfully bought two people, the media was almost transparent throughout the process.

And judging by the pre-season, Ronaldo is in good form.

He scored in every six warm-up games, but not everyone in his team-mates was in such good form.

First of all, the captain of the team, Nemanja Vidic, who was on the injury list halfway through the thousands of training sessions because of the recurrence of an old knee injury. 、

The recurrence of old injuries is a tough thing for any veteran.

There are two options, one is to have another operation, but this will be devastating to the injured part and will greatly affect his athletic life. Another way is conservative treatment, no surgery, but the recovery period is very slow, how slow it is… It’s always right to go for three months anyway.

In short, in the first half of the season, Vidic could not count on it.

The other injury number is Ferdinand.

Rio Ferdinand was in the warm-up race when he took off and sprained his ankle when landing.

Conservative estimates, there are still five or six weeks to go.

Fortunately, the captains and vice-captains of the team are all injured.

It’s really a bad year.

….

Fortunately, except for these two veterans, everything else is fine.

Although David Moyes is a typical English coach, he still incorporates many continental football concepts.

To be honest, most of United’s players have rough foot skills – the best footwork is Juan Mata and Shinji Kagawa.

So, the team can’t play technically fluid football like Barcelona.

It can only be the kind of play that opens and closes.

However, because of Ronaldo.

Such a wide open and closed style of play is full of power!

David Moyes emphasises attacking on the wing, Ronaldo is responsible for scoring goals, and as a tactical routine for finishers, Ronado is also very happy.

Center! It’s the one who is responsible for scoring the goals.

This is Ronaldo’s simple understanding of the position of center.

The addition of Mata has raised the team’s frontcourt offensive organization to a higher level.

Especially Juan Mata’s cross!

Very accurate!!

Coupled with the fact that Mata has been in the Premier League for many years and has long adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League, he integrates into the team quickly.

And Ronaldo was extremely happy to have such an accurate passer.

On his initiative, he and Mata also became good friends.

With Ronaldo’s help, Mata integrated into the team faster.

And after a series of warm-up matches.

David Moyes’ main squad for Manchester United has also come out.

Rotation is a thing, but in order for a team to adapt to its tactical thinking as quickly as possible, it is better to have a fixed starting lineup, which, if nothing else, will take at least half a season. Wait until after Christmas home to consider rotation.

After the airport warm-up game, a workhorse framework has emerged.

The goalkeeper will be David De Gea, there’s no doubt about that.

The main central defender combination, in David Moyes’ heart, it is best for Evans to partner Ferdinand, but now that Ferdinand is injured, it can only be Evans and Smalling.

The left-back is still veteran Patrice Evra and Rafael on the right, a defensive line that was the team’s main defense last season, and although it has been criticized, Moyes does not plan to change.

Use it first.

In midfield, Ashley Young on the left and Valencia on the right, these are two full-backs.

The defense can come back, the offense can go up.

This is the wing configuration of a typical English team.

The two centre-backs in the middle are Carrick’s partner Fellaini.

In front of them, Juan Mata’s position is in the front of the back, but his position is lively, he is behind Ronaldo, he can pull the side to pass the ball, he can also center the playmaker.

And Ronaldo, as the main center, is of course at the front.

This is a basic 4411, with four midfielders standing in parallel and a forward formation.

If you only have one set of tactics, you can’t go very far in the season, because it’s too easy to learn. Although the English coaches are not as crazy about tactics as the Italians, a slightly variant of the 442 is too simple, right?

So, Moyes also devised another set of tactics, which is 4231, where Ashley Young and Valencia are positioned a little further ahead, parallel to Mata, behind Ronaldo.

As time goes by, the pace of the new season is getting closer and closer.

The run-in of the team was not bad, due to the injuries of the two old captains, and the departure of Wayne Rooney.

Now the most powerful person in the Manchester United dressing room is Ronaldo.

With Ronaldo’s support, David Moyes has adapted well in the team’s dressing room.

Manchester United’s players will privately complain about Moyes’ accent and the way he trains, but overall, everyone is quite face-saving – mainly because Ronaldo is very face-giving.

Ronaldo, of course, gave face, because all of Moyes’ offensive routines revolved around him.

The position of his tactical core has not changed, but has been strengthened.

So, why not support this manager?

On August 7, the England Community Shield was played at Wembley Stadium.

As last season’s league champions, Manchester United will face last season’s FA Cup winners at Wembley – Wigan Athletic, who have been relegated to the Championship.

In the end, there was no suspense in the game.

Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic to lift the Community Shield.

It seems that although Ferguson has retired, Manchester United’s domination of the Premier League seems to continue…
